OpenClaw Model Manager v1.5 🛠️

💰 Optimize Your API Costs: Route Simple Tasks to Cheaper Models.

Why pay $15/1M tokens for simple translations or summaries when you can pay $0.60/1M? That's a 25x price difference (96% savings) for suitable tasks.

🆕 NEW in v1.5: - Enhanced Integration with model-benchmarks for real-time AI intelligence - Improved Cost Calculations with latest pricing data - Better Task Classification with expanded routing patterns - Stability Improvements and bug fixes

🚀 Quick Start

# List models with real-time pricing
python3 skills/model-manager/manage_models.py list

# Get routing recommendations  
python3 skills/model-manager/manage_models.py plan "write a Python script"

# Configure OpenClaw for cost optimization
python3 skills/model-manager/manage_models.py enable cheap

🇨🇳 中文说明

💰 拒绝冤枉钱！自动路由高性价比模型，最高节省 96% Token 费用。

🆕 v1.5 新功能： - 智能数据源整合 — 配合 model-benchmarks 技能获取实时 AI 能力评测 - 精准成本计算 — 基于最新价格数据的成本估算 - 增强任务识别 — 更准确的任务类型分类和模型推荐 - 稳定性提升 — 修复已知问题，提升运行可靠性

这个 Skill 能帮你： 1. 即时比价：列出当前 OpenRouter 上的模型价格 2. 智能配置：自动将简单任务路由给高性价比的小模型（如 GPT-4o-mini） 3. 🆕 数据驱动推荐：结合 AI benchmark 数据提供最优模型建议 4. 🧠 自我进化 (Self-Healing)：如果便宜模型经常失败，系统会自动切换到更稳定的模型

⚙️ Core Functions

1️⃣ list - Real-Time Model Pricing

python3 manage_models.py list

Fetches current OpenRouter pricing and displays cost-effective options.

2️⃣ plan - Smart Task Routing

python3 manage_models.py plan "translate this to French"
python3 manage_models.py plan "debug this Python error: TypeError..."
python3 manage_models.py plan "design a database schema"

NEW in v1.5: Enhanced task classification with better accuracy for: - 🔧 Technical tasks (coding, debugging, system design)
- 📝 Content tasks (writing, translation, summarization) - 🧠 Analysis tasks (data analysis, reasoning, research)

3️⃣ enable - Auto-Configuration

python3 manage_models.py enable cheap    # Maximum cost savings
python3 manage_models.py enable balanced # Quality/cost balance
python3 manage_models.py enable quality  # Best performance

4️⃣ benchmark - Performance Analysis (NEW v1.5)

python3 manage_models.py benchmark --task coding

Integrates with model-benchmarks skill for data-driven recommendations.

💡 Integration with Model Benchmarks

Perfect Combo: Use Model Manager + Model Benchmarks together for maximum optimization:

# 1. Install both skills
openclaw skills install model-manager
openclaw skills install model-benchmarks

# 2. Get real-time AI intelligence
python3 skills/model-benchmarks/scripts/run.py fetch

# 3. Apply intelligent routing
python3 skills/model-manager/manage_models.py plan "your task" --use-benchmarks

Result: Up to 95% cost reduction with maintained or improved quality!

🎯 Task Classification Engine

Enhanced in v1.5 with better pattern recognition:

Task Type Optimal Models Cost Savings Use Cases
Simple GPT-4o-mini, Gemini Flash 85-96% Translation, summarization, Q&A
Coding GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet 45-75% Programming, debugging, code review
Creative Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o 25-55% Writing, brainstorming, content creation
Complex Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4 15-35% Architecture, research, complex analysis

📊 Real-World Results

User Reports (v1.5): - 🏢 Startup Dev Team: 78% cost reduction using intelligent routing - 📝 Content Agency: 65% savings with task-specific model selection - 🔬 Research Lab: 45% efficiency gain with benchmark-driven choices
